...PUBLIC INFORMATION STATEMENT...
...THE NOAA WEATHER RADIO NYC TRANSMITTER IS EXPECTED TO RETURN TO SERVICE *(AUTUMN 2019)*...
...KWO35 WILL RESUME BROADCAST ON A FREQUENCY OF *(162.550 MHZ)* ON *(750 WATTS)*...
THE NEW LOCATION FOR KWO-35 WILL BE AT THE TOP OF THE *(EMPIRE STATE BUILDING)* IN MIDTOWN MANHATTAN.
THE NOAA WEATHER RADIO TRANSMITTER THAT SERVES THE NYC METROPOLITAN
AREA IS EXPECTED TO RETURN TO SERVICE IN AUTUMN 2019 AFTER AN EXTENDED OUTAGE.
IN NOVEMBER 2017, SERVICE WAS TERMINATED DUE TO FAILED LEASE NEGOTIATIONS.
THE OUTAGE REQUIRED THE NWS TO RE-LOCATE THE TRANSMITTER TWO TIMES.
WHILE THE PROCESS OF IDENTIFYING POSSIBLE NEW LOCATIONS WAS CHALLENGING, IT WAS ULTIMATELY COMPLETED.
NOW THAT A NEW SITE HAS BEEN FINALIZED, NWS IS AUTHORIZED TO BEGIN NEW INSTALLATION PROCEDURES
AND SYSTEM TESTING TO ENSURE THE TRANSMITTER SIGNAL WILL PERFORM AT OPTIMAL LEVELS.
THIS PROCESS WILL TAKE SEVERAL MONTHS.
HOWEVER, IF ALL GOES WELL, WE COULD HAVE THE TRANSMITTER BACK SOONER THAN ANTICIPATED.
KWO35 WILL RESUME BROADCAST ON A FREQUENCY OF *(162.550 MHZ)* ON *(750 WATTS)*
IN THE MEANTIME, LOCAL NWS OBSERVATIONS, FORECASTS, AND DATA FOR THE NYC METROPOLITAN AREA CAN BE FOUND ON:

* TWITTER AT: [link]
IF YOU HAVE ANY COMMENTS OR QUESTIONS, PLEASE CONTACT SUSAN BUCHANAN, NWS ACTING DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC AFFAIRS AT
-email- OR *(301-427-9000)*
VOICE RECORDINGS OF NWS WEATHER INFORMATION FOR THE NYC METROPOLITAN AREA WILL CONTINUE AT *(631-924-0517)*
WE WILL PROVIDE UPDATES ON THE STATUS OF THE NYC NOAA WEATHER RADIO TRANSMITTER THROUGH PUBLIC INFORMATION STATEMENTS WHEN ADDITIONAL INFORMATION BECOMES AVAILABLE.
